Joe asked an employee of WotC, whose been helpful and friendly to the ENWorld community, to make legally inadvisable statements in a public forum.
What do you make of this?
(And it's 'motives', not 'motifs'. Impugning a person's motifs is something done in art, music, or literary criticism  .) |

(also, considering that no company has the power to stop Hairfoot, or anyone else, for that matter, from playing the game of their choosing, I'm not really clear on what your point is) | |

| I am so very tired of babysitting a very small number of threads, and this thread is one of them.
EDIT: More explanation is probably needed. We normally get 2, maybe 3 reported posts a day. We've gotten 31 since yesterday, with vastly the lion's share from this thread and the other one or two I closed. I don't know what it is, but people on both sides of the issue were being repeatedly rude. As always, we don't have a lot of interest in micromanaging threads like that, so closed it goes.
Klunk.
